The wait for the doctor to come felt like hours. After about two hours Dr. Geyer stepped out of the room, alone. Scott looked at him with panic on his face. "We ran some tests and we discovered that Lydia has gestational hypertonia," Dr Geyer. Scott gave him a look of confusion. "It means she has high blood pressure,". Scott gave a look of understanding. "We have her on bed rest here for a few days to monitor and gave her a cortical steroid to help the baby's lungs develop just in case we have to induce,". Scott took a deep breath. "Hey, you've been through a lot today. Lydia is sleeping right now, so why don't you go and visit with your mom and new sister. I'll let you know if anything with Lydia or Stiles changes,". After making sure that Dr. Geyer would call him for ANY change Scott went down the hall.

Not a change for either Stiles nor Lydia the when five o'clock rolled around. Felicity was all wrapped up in and in her car seat. Melissa and Noah were signing last minute papers. When Noah had finished he turned to Scott. "Call me immediately if anything changes with Stiles or Lydia,". Scott nodded his head. "I promise,". He then went over to his baby sister. "Goodbye Felicity," he whispered, not to wake her. "I love you,". "And I love you too mom,". He said to his her before she sat down in the wheel chair the nurse had brought over. "I love you, kiddo. Please try to get some sleep,". "Allison, please make him get some sleep,".

Allison had gotten Scott to eat something, which he had not done since breakfast. Around six they went up to check on Lydia. "Hey Lydia. How are you doing?" Scott asked. "I'm hanging in there just trying to keep my stress down so that my blood pressure goes down," said Lydia rubbing her bump trying to get the twins to calm down. "How's your mom and the baby?" "There doing good. They left about an hour ago,".

The three friends talked for a few more hours till the nurse came in to refill the medicine and ask Allison and Lydia they needed to let Lydia rest. Once they left Lydia's room they headed to Stiles' room. Around midnight Scott had fallen asleep after trying to fight it off the past few hours. Allison left the room to see get a cup of coffee.

3 am. Stiles' room was quiet. "Umm" a soft quiet groan came from the bed. Stiles stirred for a minute before he opened his eyes. It took him a minute to figure out where he was. With the amount of times he'd been in here it didn't take too long. He was in a hospital room, but why was he in the hospital? Last he remembered he just had a cold. Did his cold get so bad he needed medical treatment? He looked around the room until his eyes landed on, Scott? "Scott?" he tried to yell but his voice was really weak.
"Allison?" Doctor Geyer asked the young burnet as he shook her awake. She stirred awake. "Have you seen Scott"? "Ya, he was in Stiles' room sleeping the last time I saw him," she said before wondering why he was looking for Scott at 3 in the morning. "Is something wrong? Did something happen?" she asked the doctor with a worried tone. "Let's find Scott and then I'll explain,".

They walked to Stiles' room. "Allison?" voice he had tried to wake Scott with. "Stiles. Your awake," she said as she walked over to him. "How long have you been awake?" "Just a few minutes," said Stiles. "I was trying to wake Scott". "Do you know why I'm here?"
"Lydia found you yesterday morning, unconscious and burning up. You were highly dehydrated," said Allison. "Lydia? Lydia? Where is she?" Stiles asked realizing she wasn't there.
Dr. Geyer spoke up "I don't want you to panic. Lydia is up stairs in a room. Her blood pressure was elevated, and we have been monitoring her. I actually got Allison to up to let her and Scott, or I guess you that we are going to have to induce labor. The blood pressure has gone up we are going to wait a few more hours to make sure the steroid for babies' lung development is working,".
"Lydia is in the hospital? And the babies are going to be born now? They can't, its too early. She's only 30 weeks," Stiles said starting to panic.
"Stiles you need to stay calm. If we can get you a few more hours rest, you should be able to be with her during delivery. If we deliver now, there is a 96% success rate. We will leave you to get some rest and we'll be back at 6 this morning," said the doctor as he and Allison left the room.
